Dirk took considerable time giving me restaurant suggestions and advising me on how to use the city bus system. His place is clean and comfortable and has a great view of the river from the balcony. The location is not at all touristy which I really liked. I feel that I had an authentic Thai experience because of that. I stayed for 7 nights and would’ve extended it but it was already booked for the next week. I will book it again next time I’m in Bangkok.
